BANYA 5 URBAN SPA

Long before South Lake Union was a destination, Banya 5 Urban Spa was offering a clean, contemporary, spa experience - a sanctuary in the heart of the city. The brainchild of John Goodfellow, who wanted to recreate New York's famed Russian baths, Banya 5 offers "detoxification" via sauna sweating, ice-cold bath plunging, and saltwater pool lounging, in that order. Guests can supplement said plunging and sweating with a full menu of traditional spa services. A unexpected urban Russian-influenced sanctuary indeed!
